It must be extra fun to film a Christmas movie during the actual holiday season, and that’s exactly what’s happening right now for Bill Bellamy (How to Be a Player, Any Given Sunday), who recently posted photos of him on set of A Rich Christmas in Washington, D.C.!

There’s not much known about the plot or which network it will air on, but thanks to Bill’s Instagram, we know that he will star alongside Vanessa Williams (One Fine Christmas), Denise Boutte (What She Wants for Christmas), Tyler Abron (London Mitchell’s Christmas) and Brandee Evans (Dear Santa, I Need a Date), and Victoria Rowell (Twas the Chaos before Christmas) is directing.

Check out the photos below and check back soon for more information on when and how you can watch A Rich Christmas.

With yet another successful holiday season at Netflix under her belt, it seems that Vanessa Hudgens is already hard at work at the merry third installment of The Princess Switch trilogy for the streaming service.  The actress, who stars in triple roles in the Christmas-themed series, posted an Instagram story update of her on set in Scotland (see bottom of the post)!

The Princess Switch first film tells the story of Lady Margaret — a duchess who switches places with an ordinary Chicago woman named Stacy De Novo, who looks exactly like her, one week before Christmas — and they both fall in love with each other’s significant others. In the sequel, The Princess Switch: Switched Again, we pick back up where their storyline left off and we’re also introduced to a third lookalike, Fiona.

Wake up to magic on Christmas Day, and I’m not just talking about what’s under the tree…but about what will be on TV!  Tituss Burgess and Julianne Hough are hosting the “Disney Parks Magical Christmas Celebration” on Friday, December 25th – aka Christmas morning – on ABC straight from Walt Disney World Resort in Florida!

Unlike the many previous years, there will not be a parade due to the pandemic, but that won’t put a damper on the Disney magic we expect to see. This year’s iteration will feature merry musical performances from Becky G, Tori Kelly, Trevor Jackson, Jon Batiste and more from locations all over the parks (see the full lineup below), a special appearance from Emmy® Award-winning actor Keegan-Michael Key, and social moments with TikTok creator Alex Ojeda.

The special will also spotlight heartwarming family stories, Disney Cast Member highlights, a look into the Disney Dreamers Academy and more festive surprises… including beloved Disney characters, of course.  What’s Christmas at Walt Disney World without Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, and all of their friends?

Tonight is the first night of Hanukkah, and I want to wish all of those celebrating a beautiful, healthy and peaceful celebration of the Festival of Lights. Happy Hanukkah!

Don’t forget about the Hallmark Channel premiere of “Love, Lights, Hanukkah!” this Saturday, December 12th at 8pm/7c!  The movie stars Mia Kirshner, Ben Savage and Marilu Henner, and tells the story of Christina (Kirshner) who is preparing her restaurant for its busiest time of year when she gets back a DNA test revealing that she’s Jewish. The discovery leads her to a new family and an unlikely romance over eight nights.

Well, this is something I wasn’t expecting! twenty one pilots did a surprise song release tonight in honor of the holiday season with their first official festive-themed single, “Christmas Saves the Year”. This tune was written and produced by lead singer Tyler Joseph — with the drum beats from band-mate Josh Dun added remotely.

The mid-tempo song is a very realistic holiday song this year as it touches on the longing of family wanting to be reunited during this difficult year, which is making the holidays extra hard on many families. While it might be a tad bit depressing… Christmas saves the year, and this song is definitely a must-hear. I’ve had it on repeat all day.
